Burnley 1 Newcastle 4 – Interesting independent ratings on Newcastle United players | OneFootball

It ended Burnley 1 Newcastle 4.

The home side making a spirited start and almost scoring after only two minutes, Dubravka with a smart save.

Once though Callum Wilson opening the scoring inside 20 minutes, there was only going to be one winner.

It ended 4-1 but it could have and should have been a bigger winning margin.

Still, a 4-1 away win is never to be sniffed at!

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

‘Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game.

Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.’

Now whoscored have published their independent player ratings for this Newcastle United 5 Sheffield United 1 match:

(The Whoscored automated ratings can only show four subs at any one time with how it is laid out, Joelinton was rated 6.6 by them).

As you can see, Bruno Guimaraes (8.7) getting man of the match via the automated ratings.

Next highest were Murphy (8.6) and Gordon (8.5) who also had great games.

To be honest, everybody played well and these automated ratings a bit on the blink, when it comes to Dubravka and three of the back four getting ratings of less than 7.0.

I thought they all played their part and what an exciting pair of young attacking full-backs we have, Lewis Hall and Tino caused Burnley all sorts of problems.
